All Level 6 degrees offer a work placement option and are available with an optional foundation year for students who do not meet the entry criteria for direct entry to Year 1. Guide for schools and colleges

Stimulating, curriculum-enhancing, hands-on STEM activities for Year 12 students.

What progression routes are availableat Teesside University?

Subject requirements for admission (additional grade criteria apply) Alternative Level 3 qualifications which include substantial coverage of compulsory subjects will also be considered (for example engineering or technology in place of physics)

X = compulsory O = either/orC = considered as alternative to compulsory subject

All students who complete two sessions receive an attendance certificate.

What is STEMulate12? STEMulate12 provides Year 12 students studying science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) subjects the opportunity to experience practical applications of these topics in a university laboratory setting.

How long are the sessions?Each session lasts approximately two hours and normally consists of:

9.30am Arrival

9.40am - 10.00am Introduction to science and engineering at Teesside University

10.15am - 12.15pm Academic session 1

12.15pm - 1.00pm Lunch in the Students Union

1.10pm - 3.10pm Academic session 2

3.15pm - 3.30pm Plenary

3.30pm Depart

Introduction to the session and relevant theory 15 minutes

Practical activity 45 minutes

Break information on relevant degree courses and related careers 15 minutes

Practical activity 45 minutes

What does a typical STEMulate12 day look like?

When is STEMulate12 held?Available dates in 2018 are: Wednesday: 28 March, 11 April, 18 April, 25 April, 9 May, 16 May, 23 May, 20 June. Tuesday: 19 June

Can you organise STEMulate12 just for my school/college?The capacity on any one day is 100 students. If you have 60 or more Year 12 students attending then we can, upon request, run a session just for your school/college. Individual practical sessions have a capacity of around 20.

Can teachers attend?Teachers are invited to attend and participate in the practical sessions. There will be opportunities to forge closer links with University academic staff which can help smooth your students transition from college to university, resulting in an improved overall student experience.

How much does it cost?STEMulate12 is free. We can offer your school or college a travel contribution depending on your location and how many students you bring.

What else is linked to STEMulate12?Soon after your students have commenced their year 13 studies we can visit your college to issue STEMulate12 participation certificates to your students and to offer advice on their UCAS application and on higher and degree apprenticeship opportunities. If you select to participate in our Dual Offer Guaranteed Place Scheme, then eligible students will also receive a letter notifying them of their eligibility for a guaranteed place offer. This involves an unconditional offer for year 0 entry and a parallel conditional offer for year 1 entry on their selected course. Unlike pre-result unconditional offers for year 1 entry made by some other providers, our scheme ensures that your students remain motivated, hardworking and committed to maximising their grades before entering university. Eligibility is based on completed Level 3 qualifications such as AS-Levels or BTECs, or we can base eligibility on your own internal end-of-year 12 assessment results. Contact us to find out more about our Guaranteed Place Scheme.

How does it benefit students?Sessions require students to draw on knowledge from topics they have covered in their Year 12 curriculum for practical problem solving. By applying theory in a real laboratory setting, they gain a better understanding of the theory and its relevance to solving problems. We use worksheets during these sessions to contextualise students learning by providing real-world examples where the theory is relevant. Each session provides an overview of relevant degree courses and typical careers that these can lead to.

What sessions are available?We offer a range of sessions. Each student can select to attend two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.The table below shows examples of sessions on offer.
